The Astros’ 60 losses are the second-most in franchise history before the break. A 106-loss club in 2011 was 30-62 in the first half of the season.

No. 1 starter Bud Norris is scheduled to pitch Friday against Seattle at Minute Maid Park during the Astros’ second-half debut. The remainder of the club’s rotation will be set during the break. Jordan Lyles, Dallas Keuchel and Erik Bedard are expected to take three spots. Lucas Harrell and Cosart are among candidates for the fifth slot.

Chris Carter is out of the starting lineup for the fifth time in seven games. He’s dealing with a minor ankle injury.
